The Terrible New Insane Clown Posse Show

We can spend all day ragging on Insane Clown Posse's unlistenable music, but even haters have to admit that the duo's following is impressive. They've got two platinum albums, five more gold ones, and the unmatched ability to attract thousands of doughy derelicts to a remote strip of woods for ritual shit throwing. And now that relentless fan base has gotten them on TV.

Yesterday the music channel Fuse these dudes just aren't funny. And in a format devised for snarking on crappy videos, that's bad news. Or at least it would be if ICP didn't have a ravenous following that devours their content like they devour Faygo.

This show is happening not because it's good but because people will watch it. There's nothing new about that, really. The same can be said of plenty of reality shows that networks plop into primetime during the summer. What's unique about ICP Theater though is the niche. Unlike Wipeout, which TV execs know will get ratings because it's so broad, ICP Theater is targeted at a specific fan base. Drawing non-juggalo viewers will be impossible given the duo's middle school-level observations and jokes that are so bad it's hard to tell if they're jokes. Maybe Fuse is allowing ICP this passion project so they they'll eventually give the channel something that all people, juggalo and non-juggalo alike, will want to watch: Violent J reuniting with his lost twin Guy Fieri.
